Great British Bake Off has started and it's honestly quite entertaining!
I'm very jealous of the UK folks who get to see this early!! Typical reality TV
is awful and I can't even be in the same room as "The Bachelor", "Survivor", etc.
but there's something sincere and very heart-warming about GBBO. Prue Leith, Paul
Hollywood, Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas are great as hosts (or 'presenters',
depending upon which side of the pond you're on)!! I was very bummed when
Mary Berry, Sue and Mel departed but the charm of the show hasn't diminished one
bit!
We only have 1 episode thus far in the US on Netflix. I don't have a favorite
baker yet...though Maggie the retired Midwife is very easy to cheer for along
with Jurgen & Freya.
If you're looking for a Fall/Winter activity while weathering another season
of pandemic, it's hard not to enjoy Great British Bake Off. The earlier seasons
are [mostly] on Netflix to check out the high points of earlier series.
